“Talking about romance is the first step to peace”
— Amo, Chapter 34
Amo Empool (アモ・エンプール , Amo Enpūru) is a character in Gachiakuta. She’s a member of the Cleaners in team Front.
As a child, Amo was sold by her mother to a trafficker driven insane by the Watchman Series shoes. He took her to a tower in Penta, where he gave her gifts in exchange for performing ceremonies.[3] One day, the Angel and a companion arrived to use the tower's height to reach the Sphere, defeating the trafficker, who tried to retaliate. Amo received his boots[4] and, when he tried to reclaim them, accidentally pushed him off the tower. She then lived alone, stealing from visitors[5] until the Cleaners came to investigate the Angel. Amo attempted to use the shoes against them but was defeated, eventually befriending the Cleaners before the Angel captured her.[6] The Cleaners later rescued her,[7] and she remained in their custody,[8] until deciding to join the Cleaners as a member of team Front.[9] Due to her actions Amo can be considered a major antagonist turned ally of the series.
Appearance
Amo is a thin young woman of average height and well-endowed body. She has loose bangs and long, messy dark brown hair with orange tips reaching her shoulders. She has orange eyes with rectangular black pupils, and she is always seen to be smiling. She wears a raggedy dark dress that exposes most of her torso and her underwear, barely covering her chest, with sleeves being two layers of ripped billowing fabric secured onto her arms by a belt. Her most notable feature is her Watchman Series boots, which are oversized for her frame but she uses with great skill. Her accessories include orange corset piercings on both thighs, and a short striped scarf on her neck.
After becoming a Cleaner, Amo wears a frilly white dress with layered skirts and intricate details, including lace and buttons on the bodice. Her black hair with orange tips goes over her shoulder in thick locks and she wears a headpiece resembling a maid’s. Over her dress, she wears a long, flowing cape with a structured collar. She retains her orange corset piercings on both thighs and wears the Watchman Series Shoes.

Personality
Amo's personality is mostly sweet, yet disorienting, and susceptible to changing very quickly. As seen in scenes and chapters where she is included, after not being able to get her way and being made to feel like she is being used, Amo very quickly becomes upset and enraged. This then causes her to use her jinki to attack and become violent. Soon after this outburst, however, Amo again goes back to being docile and trying to make conversation again.
On top of this, Amo doesn't seem to be socialized very well as her childhood was mostly isolated besides interactions with her unnamed caretaker (who she referred to as 'Mister'), who abused her. This has caused her to develop mental issues and unhealthy coping strategies to deal with them. Possibly stemming from one of her mental illnesses, Amo is presented to be obsessed with love and being loved. This obsession goes back as far as her early childhood, before her time with 'Mister'.
However there seems to be a slight improvement in Amo's behavior after meeting Rudo and his friends.
